The mile is one of athletics' most iconic events, but what can everyday runners learn from the world's best middle-distance athletes?

In this episode of the RunThrough Coaches Podcast, Lewis Moses is joined by Dr. Matt Long to break down the training principles behind Josh Kerr's attempt to challenge the legendary mile world record.
